On June 26th, 2023, we had the honor of hosting Robert S. Gilchrist, the U.S. Ambassador to Lithuania, in Šeduva. The museum staff, Sergejus Kanovicius, and Milda Jakulytė-Vasil, warmly welcomed Ambassador Gilchrist and provided a comprehensive tour. The tour included notable sites such as Šeduva center, the Synagogues memorial, the Old Jewish cemetery, the Museum's construction site, and an area outside the town where a Holocaust mass massacre took place.
We express our sincerest appreciation to the Ambassador and his team for their genuine interest in learning more about the Lost Shtetl Museum project.
